“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.” Buddha

“This quote by Buddha is absolutely correct in that there is no one else that can save you the responsibility for that is yours and yours alone. That is the essence of responsibility. Taking full responsibility for your own life is not always easy at first but I know from personal experience that it pays off. It was only when I finally came to the realization that there was nobody else that could save me that is when I started to change and grow in ways that I would have thought impossible just over 4 short years ago. I have come a long way since that time and while I know that I have a long journey ahead of me I now understand that the responsibility for my journey and the path that I take is all mine. While that thought may sound frightening at first the reality is that it is really empowering as it puts the responsibility for my future in my own hands.” Stan Burman
